The Levante was named after a warm, easterly wind that blows in the western Mediterranean Sea, southern France, down to the Strait of Gibraltar.[5] The name of the wind, in turn, comes from the Latin word "levare", which means "to rise".[5] Its design is based on the Kubang concept car[6] that debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Auto Show.
